TS1 Carb choice

Got a ts1 to fit and have 28 & 30phbh.

Will 28 give much improved MPG performance over the 30. Any pros and cons to fitting either carb as I wanna use the choice that makes most sense.

Re: HBarlow 207 squish

One I did with Harry's advice using a 1mm pack plate had the head skimmed and re profiled to drop the squish into the bore by 1.2mm.

Motor pinks at mid-high revs ignition...

Question: Is it safe to ditch external dust seal and use the external type oil seal to allow use of an unshielded bearing and aid ease of changing seals in the future. I have 30mm od hub centre and matching 29.89mm id ex...
